Send Me

Bethel Music's song 'Send Me' is a heartfelt declaration of willingness to serve and love unconditionally. The lyrics express a deep commitment to follow God's call, regardless of the circumstances. The opening lines, 'If it’s bandaging the broken / Or washing filthy feet / Here I am, Lord, send me,' set the tone for the song, emphasizing a readiness to engage in acts of humility and service. This imagery of bandaging and washing feet is reminiscent of biblical acts of compassion and servitude, highlighting the singer's desire to emulate these virtues.

The song continues to explore themes of love and obedience, even in challenging situations. Lines like 'If it’s loving one another / Even when we don’t agree / Here I am, Lord, send me' underscore the importance of unconditional love and unity. The singer pledges to serve God whether in wealth or poverty, on the mountain or in the valley, demonstrating a steadfast faith and dedication. This unwavering commitment is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer repeatedly offers themselves to God's service, driven by a profound love for the divine.

'If the truth cuts like an arrow / I will say it anyway / ‘Cause here I am, Lord, send me' reflects the courage to speak truth and uphold one's beliefs, even at the risk of rejection. The song culminates in a vision of standing in God's glory, where the singer hopes to hear the words 'Well done good and faithful.' This ultimate aspiration encapsulates the essence of the song: a life lived in faithful service and love. The repeated refrain 'Here I am, Lord, send me' serves as a powerful mantra, reinforcing the message of readiness and devotion to God's will.
